Clockwork Orange

The members of Clockwork Orange respectfully request that we be moved to a more active alliance.
We enjoy what the Gaiscioch family has to offer, we just need more people to work with.

We can put together a 6 man that can clear LV in less then 2 hours, but it does nothing for the alliance if its always the same 6. WE have taken a few of you with us and I hope that it was fun but we need to get all of us thru LV and on to TOVL we are up to Boss 5.

Our alliance chat of late has been about a Guild merge, I for one welcome all in our alliance but CO is not for everyone. All of the CO members that have been with us are Officer ranks, they all have SB rights, they all can take any item from our vault, why? well I trust them all becuse the trust has been earned.
I know alot of guilds have "GM" Guild leader, King, BMOC, we don't we are a guild where we decide all as one.

I don't post often or say much,I do however like to win, get loots and kick some arse on the way.Feel free to reply to this message tell me you thoughts were here to get things done.

I'd love to see the CO folks in the "main" alliance. No offense to any of the current guilds, but from what I can tell, many are mostly inactive.

I know I don't use the Tuatha channel too much but all you Droogs in CO if you need extras for PvP groups all of us in Dawn Eternal are always down for a smaller WB. We too are on Boss 5 in VL and are planning a run again this weekend starting Friday and a few spots are still up in the air. Our core tends to play later in the evenings and we don't do too much PVE but that is changing as we see the disparity in gear in ORVR as more an more Destro are rocking Tyrant gear. I will try and get in contact with some of you guys in game this evening and see if we can maybe get 2 solid VL groups together in a static set up. Sadly with my work schedual I can't play as much during the week as I did in the past but I will let my guildies that don't check the forums as much know so we can see about getting soem stuff rolling on a regualr basis...ie LOTD lairs for OP pocket items, fast LV weapon runs, ect ect. Just /who Dawn Eternal or look for Beetles, Dary, Sartoris to set it up or /who DE for anybody for PvP we are always looking for fights.

Unfortunately our Tuatha Alliance is all but done. Last night (as expected from what I hear) Ordo Sylvanius left the alliance. In all, I think its important that the open and more active guild (Clockwork) be taken into the main alliance as their usefulness can be utilized. I know originally the Tuatha extended alliance idea was to keep all our guilds intact, but in reality, no one but 12 of us use the Tuatha channel, and our allainces are weaker for it. I think its important, especially in the inceasing need for end game entertainment that we have a stronger base as a whole. @Beetles I was going to post something to try and get VL and LV and Crypts run static organized. I'm glad many of us are thinking the same way.

Nostra, I totally agree with you that if the alliance is going quiet it might be time to find a new one. We are all a family and sometimes you gotta go off to college. Doesn't mean ya cant call home ;). We currently have several guilds within the Tuatha which are not inside the main or sister alliance. Phoenix Company is actually in the alliance with Feared, and Silent Reign I believe. Thats the beauty of the Tuatha Mod is that its not alliance restricted. In game you can join any alliance you want, however you can still communicate with others using the mod. As you've notice the hard part is getting people to use the mod. I will see what I can do to get more people to download and install the mod. Regarding the main alliance: Right now we do not have any openings in the main alliance. Please continue to use the Tuatha channel and let us know anytime you want to do something. Once we have an opening I'll let you know but right now I don't have a single guild that has not played in more than 2 days. Shadow's Deep and Loremasters are small but they show up to almost every event we post. They are more reliant than most guilds. Yes they may just be a couple people but they are a couple good people that bring a lot to the family. I will not be voting people off the island.

I think its great that you unify the lower ranks and get a giant calling to come out. But as much as you build everything to make sure that someone isn't left out because they aren't as active as a more core player, I think we overlook the end game and the core player then is left out. Mainy of us, and in your ranks want to experience the real end game. And I think without a broader unification, it's going to be hard. I liked just Open RvRing for a long time too, but there is time when you would really like to have that Nicer stuff. The Tuatha channel was a good idea. But at max I see maybe 12 or 14 people in it at once. That means we have every other guild is represented in there, maybe. Whenever we want to organize something like a 2 group Premade for SCs, or a Tomb run or just anything, asking in the /tuatha is like asking in /say. Same reponse. We are basically asking the click of people we have as friends in /tells and hoping around in vents. Basically like as if guilds didn't even exist. I think we need improvement and quick.

When I have tried to call meetings to build up the alliance and make it more active most of the guilds (including Clockwork) have not responded. Heraclios seems to be the only one interested in discussions about building up the alliance. Ben if there are guilds looking for alliance we have room for several. Obviously we are not l33t enough for some but we have a good group of people.

i know i spoke with ben about te main alliance a while back and mentioned that dragonriders would love to join it if room ever came open ,, my only fear is our size with 3 active players and 2 part time players id hate to take a spot a larger guild could use no matter how badly id like to see my guild in the main alliance. ive also thought about bring up here the idea of some of us smaller guilds mergeing then being accepted in the alliance that way us smaller guilds arent left out,, but then again theres the problem of guilds not wanting to give up there guild names they have had for so long. i know with me i wouldnt give up the dragonrider tag after haveing it over my head for almost 11 years now,,, i cant ask some other guild to do it.. all in all im not sure what we could do, but i am open to discussion

Possibly talk to some of the smaller guilds about merging under the Dragonriders tag? I know I'm the noob to this alliance and the good thing about the Tuatha is that smaller guilds can join and all work together, but that's also the bad thing. this game was designed giving larger guilds an advantage. Having 3 people doesn't really help anyone including yourselves as far as I can see. I understand that its hard sometimes to give up your old guild tags and I can appreciate that, but there's also times when you should just move on. There was a day when I couldn't see myself not playing SWG without the -TU- tag over my head, but the game changed and people quit and it just became clear that it was time to move on. And when I did it worked out really well. That is until they created Ewok love day, of all the things that was the last straw for me.
